Pathologists in Profile Podcast Series

Welcome to the Pathologists in Profile podcast. In this podcast series, we’ll be chatting to some incredibly inspiring people working across the 17 different pathology specialties. Each month we’ll be releasing 2 episodes, featuring the same guest speaker. In part one, we will explore the life and career of our podcast guest, and in part 2, we’ll be delving into a case study chosen by our guest.

About the podcast host 

Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Natasha Cutmore studied medicine at the University of Birmingham before moving to West Yorkshire to train in Histopathology. Natasha is currently out of programme on her PhD in Cambridge, where she is learning the craft of bioinformatics.  

"I really do love pathology in all its forms and feel it is a shame that we are sometimes thought of as a 'hidden' specialty. A big motivator behind creating the podcast was my passion for people to hear about the varied and amazing careers that this sector offers and to promote the wonderful world of pathology."

During his first consultant post in Hull, he helped develop local training of extended practitioners, at a time when this was a very new role.  His passion for education continued as he became a Training Programme Director in the Yorkshire and Humber Deanery.  More recently, his leadership and management roles have extended into molecular pathology and he is Core Lead for the Genomics Laboratory Hub for the North East and Yorkshire. 

Part one: Dr Bipin Mathew's life and career

Part 2: Dr Bipin Mathew's case study

In part 2 of our interview with Consultant Dermatopathologist, Dr Bipin Mathew, Bipin talks about BAP1-inactivated melanocytomas (BIMs). His interest in these entities stem from the increased understanding that molecular pathology has given pathologists in diagnosing these melanocytomatic tumours. Bipin talks about some of the fascinating cases of BIMs he has seen in his work, and the team who he works with on diagnosing them and recommending treatment.
